Chapter 88 Zhu Zhuqing: I'll make you some noodles! A seductive charm!
"Zhu Zhuqing? What are you doing here?"
Lu Ming exclaimed in surprise.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was on the sofa, suddenly trembled and jumped up like a frightened kitten.
She was engrossed in the chat group, watching everyone discuss Lu Ming's strength, and secretly pleased with herself, completely unaware that there was another person in the room.
The chat group was her biggest secret, and this sudden sound almost scared her out of her wits.
Only after recognizing Lu Ming did Zhu Zhuqing let out a long breath, her full breasts heaving violently.
Fortunately, only I can see the chat group.
Zhu Zhuqing patted her chest, her clear, cold eyes giving Lu Ming a reproachful glare.
"Don't you walk silently?"
"You were too engrossed in your own world." Lu Ming shrugged and pointed at her. "Besides, this is my house. As for you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"
Zhu Zhuqing stood up straight, crossed her arms, making her already impressive assets appear even more striking.
"Didn't we agree that I would pretend to be your girlfriend and move in with you to avoid that disgusting Dai Mubai?"
Her tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
This guy actually forgot something so important?
Lu Ming scratched his head, only then remembering that such a thing had indeed happened before.
The situation was urgent, and in order to help Zhu Zhuqing get rid of Dai Mubai's entanglement, he did agree.
"Oh, yes, that's true."
Lu Ming nodded, then walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. "You can move in, there are empty rooms available. But you can't tell anyone that I'm your girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful face darkened considerably.
What's this guy's attitude?
She was, after all, a noblewoman of the Star Luo Empire, with a great figure and good looks, and she had come to him willingly in the middle of the night.
As a result, he not only forgot, but also looked at me with disgust and told me not to talk nonsense.
"Lu Ming!"
Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, her voice tinged with coldness, "Am I that shameful?"
No, that's not it.
Lu Ming took a sip of water to moisten his throat. "I mainly wanted to avoid trouble. As you know, there are quite a few girls in the academy who like me. If there's a misunderstanding, it will be difficult for me to explain."
"you..."
Zhu Zhuqing's chest heaved with anger. This guy was such a blockhead! A narcissist!
She took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her anger.
"By the way, were you home just now? I cleaned the whole room earlier, how come I didn't find you?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Ming with a puzzled expression.
The dormitory room is only this big; she even scanned under the bed.
"I just returned from my cultivation and used a special method of concealment."
Lu Ming casually made up a story without batting an eye, "I tend to lose myself in cultivation."
Upon hearing this, the anger in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes subsided considerably, replaced by a hint of respect.
No wonder Lu Ming is so strong. Even in the dead of night, he doesn't forget to cultivate, and he even does a perfect job of concealing his aura, so I didn't even notice.
This diligence and focus are indeed something she should learn from.
"Gurgle..."
An untimely sound broke the somewhat delicate atmosphere.
Lu Ming rubbed his stomach and looked at Zhu Zhuqing: "Now that you've moved in, you're my roommate. Roommate, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Ming's self-righteous demeanor and sighed helplessly.
"It's so late, the cafeteria must be closed. I'll make you some noodles."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the simple little kitchen.
Soon after, the sounds of chopping vegetables and boiling water came from the kitchen.
Fifteen minutes later.
A steaming bowl of plain noodles was placed in front of Lu Ming.
The noodles were chewy, the soup was clear, and two golden poached eggs were placed on top, along with a sprinkle of bright green scallions, making it very fragrant.
Lu Ming didn't stand on ceremony and picked up his chopsticks to eat heartily.
"Mmm! It tastes good!"
Lu Ming glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with some surprise, "I didn't expect that you, a rich young lady, would also know this skill."
Zhu Zhuqing sat opposite him, her hands supporting her chin, watching Lu Ming wolf down his food, her eyes somewhat dazed.
"From the day I awakened my martial spirit at the age of six, my life has been filled with assassinations and struggles."
Her voice was very soft, as if she were telling someone else's story.
"The family rules are cruel: the winner takes all, and the loser is eliminated. In order to survive, I had to learn a lot."
Identifying poisons, wilderness survival, cooking... If I hadn't learned to cook for myself, I might have been poisoned to death by some unknown poison long ago.
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled self-deprecatingly, "But what use are these skills, no matter how good they are? In the face of absolute power, everything is illusory. Only strength is the foundation of everything."
Lu Ming slowed down his chewing.
He looked up at the aloof girl in front of him. Beneath her strong exterior lay a heart that was always tense and lacked a sense of security.
"You're right." Lu Ming finished the last sip of soup and put down his chopsticks. "Strength is the only true measure of success."
Zhu Zhuqing snapped out of her thoughts, her expression becoming somewhat serious.
"Lu Ming, we're going to face the Blazing Fire Team tomorrow. I've looked at their information. The Blazing Fire Team has three Soul Masters, and the remaining four have Soul Power that's very close to level 40. Moreover, they have excellent teamwork, and their fire-attribute attacks are extremely powerful."
"I know you are strong, but I… I hope to defeat one of them, or even just hold them off."
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, her hands under the table tightly gripping the hem of her clothes.
Having never consumed any immortal herbs, her soul power is currently only at level thirty-one.
Facing the Blazing Fire team members, who were generally at level 38 or 39, or even over 40, the enormous gap in their soul power made her feel deeply powerless.
These past few days, seeing everyone in the chat group praising the strong has only intensified her anxiety.
"But I'm not confident." Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip. "My attacks won't break through their defenses, and my speed will be limited by their fire net."
Seeing her unwilling expression, Lu Ming reached out and grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
His voice was calm, yet it exuded a powerful confidence.
"Now that you've moved here, I can fulfill my promise to guide you in your cultivation."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly looked up, her clear black and white eyes instantly shining brightly.
"Now?"
"Yes, right now."
Lu Ming stood up. "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding. Since I've eaten your noodles, I'll naturally teach you something real."
Zhu Zhuqing immediately stood up, her eyes full of anticipation.
Last time, Lu Ming only gave her a few pointers, which benefited her greatly. This time, with formal instruction, she will surely increase her strength significantly.
The two arrived at the open space in the center of the living room.
"Try meditating using your usual method first, and I'll take a look."
Lu Ming stood with his hands behind his back, looking every bit the strict teacher.
